INSPIRATION:As a voice of liberty for freedom and a risk of discrimination arise simultaneously in our society, an acknowledgment of how history made us to this point, what kind of organizations are implementing their actions for freedom, and educating that every individual’s movement matters for the future become essential assets.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:Liberty museum serves as a public engaging space where it accumulates the contexts of its periphery and helps people to experience and raise up their voice that will lead this society one step towards the future and urge to visualize freedom to the people. A slogan for Liberty Museum is the following; Recall the past. Revive the present. Relief the future.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:The museum consists miscellaneous use of programs such as museum gallery, conference/office room, retail, and open space. Mixed-use architecture is organized through flawless flow where users can experience many engaging activities.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:Site location in Liberty Island, New York adjacent to the Statue of Liberty. The project was proposed in December 2016.

FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY:Architecture, Building and Structure Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:One of the fundamental elements of this museum is to preserve it's simplicity yet vigorous gesture of penetration and cycling movement along the architecture. Exterior Facade keeps as a smooth limestone texture where the interior texture is flushed by an elemental concrete structure. Natural light penetrates into the museum which maximizes sustainable energy efficiency and less use of artificial lights.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:The Liberty Museum site is a great location for visually connecting memorial monuments and iconic architectures in New York. By virtue of those architectures such as the Empty Sky Memorial which has a directional corridor, these networks firmly integrate to the core of the museum where the central space interprets an aspiration of people who have fought for civil rights and social justice since the past, and its roofless idea becomes a guideline heading towards the sky representing liberty.

CHALLENGE: Due to its location being on a historically preserved island, careful considerations have to be gone through such as minimizing invasion of an identity of the Statue of Liberty. Rather than becoming an independent architecture, the whole process and services should integrate to the existing timeline and activities in the island.

PROFILE:AHN, A Human Network, is a creative studio that designs city, architecture, and space for our society that challenges conflict, inequality, discrimination, and deficiency. AHN urge to continuously collaborate through an interdisciplinary network and integrated practices to create an innovative strategy and revitalize humanity.
